Hunting Shack Chicken Dinner
1/2 Cup milk
1 egg
1/2 Cup flour
4 Tblspns butter
pepper shaker and seasoned salt shaker
2 chicken breasts, skinless and boneless
3 slices of bacon, uncooked, cut into one inch pieces
2 large potatoes, peeled and sliced into 1/4 inch thick rounds
1-1/2 Cups mushrooms (your favorite), sliced 1/4 inch thick
1/2 Cup onion, chopped
1 Cup mozzarella cheese, grated
1 can of peas (or any easy veggie side dish)
Whisk egg and milk together and set aside for coating chicken. Place flour in a dish and set aside, also.
Melt 2 T of butter on med-high heat in a medium size frying pan, add sliced potatoes (they go in first for direct pan contact), a third of the onions and half the bacon. Leave med-high, salt and pepper to taste, and cover. The potatoes need to cook for 5 minutes before the chicken is started, so that everything is done cooking at the same time, so take your time with the next step.
Melt 2 T butter in medium heat in a second pan (large), put in mushrooms, the rest of the onions and bacon. Move them around to coat them in butter, then skoot them into the corner a bit to make room for the chicken. (That's a joke. There's no corner in a round pan.)
Coat the chicken in the egg and milk mixture, dredge in flour, place in pan beside the mushrooms. S & P to taste, do not cover. In the other pan, turn the potatoes and re-cover. (Turn mushrooms as needed.)
After 5 minutes turn the chicken over, turn the potatoes and leave them uncovered now.
After another 5 minutes everything should be done. Chicken is ready when juice runs clear from a knife inserted halfway into thickest part. Heat the peas. Shut off burner under the chicken and put all the mozzarella cheese on top of the two chicken breasts. Cover the pan (use foil if no lid) until cheese is melted. About 2 minutes.
Place fried potatoes and hot peas in serving dishes. Carry chicken frying pan to a hot pad in the middle of the dinner table while hollering "Come and get it or I'll eat it myself".
